Distance
Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You?
Part 3
Challenging
Aspects of Distance Education
·
Lack of in-person interaction: Some educators argue
that both teacher-student and student-student contact are essential to
learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in
class discussions in chat rooms, message boards or Web conferences—it’s not the
same as being with other students in a classroom.
·
Different levels of quality: Many distance-education
programs supply an excellent learning experience, but others may not. Research
any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous enough. If you are
choosing your own program, look into its accreditation before enrolling.
·
The need to self-start: Distance education lets you
make your own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated. This might
not be the ideal educational setting for you.
CHOOSE the RIGHT!!!
